lol that this tweet got a warning, whatever happened to "comedy is now legal"?

Edit: guess warnings don't show up on embeds; click through to see the warning

I keep seeing this, but, uh, who reported it?

best I can figure it's based on a Bloomberg article where musk talked about people with fewer than 100 lines of code per month or something

This is basically how the premise of Horizon Zero Dawn went down, complete with psycho techbro at the top making dumbass decisions that made everything worse like "lets make all our robots programming completely inaccessible from the outside!"

"Except by other robots, we need to make sure a rogue robot can take over others instantly but it would take 500 years for us to do the same"

Faro and musk definitely have that same savior complex going on

Even when Twitter had staff that knew how everything worked the world cup traffic nearly crushed it. Now that the infrastructure team consists of 3 guys standing outside the server room trying to figure out who knows the cipher lock code, things don't bode well

Now this is some salient code

code:

float Q_rsqrt( float number )
{
	long i;
	float x2, y;
	const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

	x2 = number * 0.5F;
	y  = number;
	i  = * ( long * ) &y;                       // evil floating point bit level hacking
	i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the gently caress? 
	y  = * ( float * ) &i;
	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration
//	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed

	return y;
}


code:
BEFOREHAND: close door, each window & exit; wait until time.
    open spellbook, study, read (scan, select, tell us);
write it, print the hex while each watches,
    reverse its length, write again;
    kill spiders, pop them, chop, split, kill them.
        unlink arms, shift, wait & listen (listening, wait),
sort the flock (then, warn the "goats" & kill the "sheep");
    kill them, dump qualms, shift moralities,
    values aside, each one;
        die sheep! die to reverse the system
        you accept (reject, respect);
next step,
    kill the next sacrifice, each sacrifice,
    wait, redo ritual until "all the spirits are pleased";
    do it ("as they say").
do it(*everyone***must***participate***in***forbidden**s*e*x*).
return last victim; package body;
    exit crypt (time, times & "half a time") & close it,
    select (quickly) & warn your next victim;
AFTERWORDS: tell nobody.
    wait, wait until time;
    wait until next year, next decade;
        sleep, sleep, die yourself,
        die at last
